AIIMS NEET 2026 Round 2 Cutoff: A 13x Gap Between the Toughest and Easiest Institute to Get Into

The Medical Counselling Committee declared the NEET UG 2026 Round 2 provisional seat allotment result today, and with it, the effective Round 2 closing ranks for all 20 AIIMS institutes are now derivable from that data.

Worth being clear about one thing upfront: AIIMS itself hasn’t published a standalone “cutoff list.” What you’re actually looking at is the last rank at which a seat got allotted at each institute, in each category, as it worked out through MCC’s seat-matching process.

There’s no separate cutoff PDF to hunt down — the real document that matters to you personally is your own individual seat allotment letter, not a general cutoff table.

Why the Gap Between Jodhpur and Madurai Is So Wide

Look at the Open category column and the spread is stark: 333 at the tightest end, 4,377 at the loosest — better than a 13-fold difference for what’s nominally the same degree, at institutes carrying the same “AIIMS” name. This pattern is consistent with how NEET counselling for AIIMS institutes has generally played out in recent years: the older, more established AIIMS centres — Jodhpur among them — tend to draw far heavier preference from candidates during choice-filling than the newer AIIMS institutes set up over the past decade. A rank of 4,000-something getting you into Madurai but nowhere near Jodhpur isn’t a sign that Madurai’s course or infrastructure is inferior; it largely reflects how thousands of individual candidates ranked their own preferences, plus each institute’s actual seat count for that round. If you’re using this table to gauge “how good was my rank,” read it as a reflection of demand patterns across institutes, not a ranking of institute quality.

What “Provisional” Actually Means for You Right Now

If your rank falls within your category’s closing rank at an institute you were allotted, you have a seat — but it isn’t locked in yet. This entire result is explicitly provisional, and MCC’s standard process from here involves document verification and reporting at the allotted institute within its own notified schedule. Skipping or delaying that step, or failing to produce the required documents, is how allotted seats get forfeited even after a candidate technically “cleared” the cutoff shown here. Treat this table as confirmation that your rank crossed the bar, not as confirmation that your admission itself is finalized.

How to Check Your Own Allotment, Not Just the General Cutoff

The cutoff table tells you where the line fell — it doesn’t tell you your own status. For that:

  1. Go to the official MCC counselling website, mcc.nic.in.
  2. Open the NEET UG counselling / Round 2 result or seat allotment link on the homepage.
  3. Log in with your NEET roll number or application number, along with your password or date of birth as required.
  4. Your Round 2 status will display — allotted institute, course, and category, if a seat has come through.
  5. Download the provisional seat allotment letter as a PDF.
  6. Print it — you’ll need the physical copy at document verification and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is there a separate AIIMS cutoff PDF I should be downloading?
No. The cutoff figures here are derived from MCC’s Round 2 provisional seat allotment result — there’s no standalone AIIMS cutoff document. What you personally need to download is your own seat allotment letter from the MCC portal.

Q2. My rank is well within the Open category cutoff for AIIMS Rewari but far outside Jodhpur’s — does that mean Rewari is a lower-quality institute?
Not necessarily. The wide gap between institutes’ closing ranks generally reflects preference patterns during choice-filling and each institute’s seat count, more than a quality difference. Older, more established centres like Jodhpur have consistently drawn tighter closing ranks across NEET counselling cycles.

Q3. Why is the ST closing rank missing for AIIMS Jodhpur?
That specific figure wasn’t available in the released data for this round. If it matters to your own candidature, checking your individual seat allotment status directly on the MCC portal is more reliable than waiting for a category cutoff figure to be separately published.

Q4. I’ve been allotted a seat within the cutoff — is my admission now confirmed?
Not yet. This result is explicitly provisional. You still need to complete document verification and reporting at your allotted institute as per MCC’s schedule — missing that step can cost you the seat even after clearing the cutoff.

Q5. Can I compare this Round 2 cutoff against Round 1 to see how much ranks shifted?
Not from this data — Round 1 cutoff figures for comparison weren’t included in the source used here. If you need that comparison, it’s worth checking MCC’s own Round 1 result archive separately.
